Status: offline 		hi... is it possible to select infantry from the IFV and only the infantry in a convenient way without having to select each and every individual squad?

if not... then can this feature be implemented?


also NATO irl features a battlebus doctrine where the IFV rolls into a battlefield pops smoke drops the infantry and either reverses into cover providing firesupport for the infantry or turns to its side acting as initial cover for the infantry but not advancing with the troops unlike russian doctrine... problem is if this is done ingame the IFV platoon/company would be considered detached and have a relatively long order delay which hampers the battlebus doctrine of NATO infantrymen... would it be possible to assign a very specific delay for detached NATO infantry due to the use of the battlebus doctrine?

Status: offline 		or maybe a good idea would be an infantry advance order where the IFV stays as a firesupport platform while the infantry advances... this would model the battlebus doctrine accurately

Status: offline 		One way to do this, after unloading the infantry units, is to select the individual vehicles and give them the 'reverse' command to safety. This command has a shorter delay than other commands. Then, after the vehicles have been detached this way, you have the infantry units left, and they have the formation flag, that you can use to control the remaining infantry with a minimal delay.

You need to manually select every vehicle, though. It would be nice if there was a key for selecting all transports in the group. Thought about it when playing but forgot to mention it before for some reason.
